Close Bollinger Bands Crossover

Recommended Posts

Close Bollinger bands crossover is a client-side VTL indicator. This indicator is based on Bollinger bands. The idea behind Bollinger bands is when the price is above the upper band, it is too high, and a mean reversion is expected. This indicator marks a red down arrow when the price closes above the upper Bollinger band. When the price close inside the Bollinger bands after closing above the upper band, it plots a green up arrow.

This indicator is useful in short-term mean reversion trading. When the red arrow appears, consider opening a short trade and then cover the short trade when the price closes inside the band. However, in strong trends, this may fail. It is better to use these signals in rangebound market conditions.

Parameters:

1.       Period – The Bollinger band period, default is 20

2.       Deviation – The standard deviations for bands, default is 2

3.       Shift – Bar shift, default is 0

 

 

The basic assumption of Bollinger bands is price will remain inside the band most of the time, when price moves beyond the band, it will immediately come back inside the band. However, in strong trends, prices remain outside the band for longer periods before reverting inside the band. Identifying the overall market conditions before using the signals to open trades is important. In rangebound market conditions, these signals work better.

Didi Index Clean & Reversed

Didi index clean and reversed is a client side VertexFX VTL indicator. It is adapted from the Didi index indicator. In this version the slow line is displayed. The Did index is based on moving averages and show the trend direction. Didi Index CR is used in different ways by traders. When the Index is above 1, the trend is up, when it is below 1, the trend is down. In the original version of Didi Index, Trend is up when the slow line is below 1. Hence the name reversed.

A simple method to trade is when the Didi index cross above the middle line, open a long trade, if it cross below the middle line, open a short position. The middle line is placed at 1. Use a fixed target and stoploss or base stoploss on support resistance levels. As the index shows the trend, one can open positions when pullback happens to a support/resistance level.

Parameters:

MA Method:     Moving average type,  1 SMA, 2 EMA, 3 WMA

Applied Price:    Price field for indicator calculation, 1 Close, 2 Open, 3 High, 4 Low, 5 Median, 6 Typical, 7 Weighted

Mean Period:   Mean MA Period

Slow Period:    Slow MA Period

Try different set of parameter values and back test the indicator before starting to trade with Didi Index. The indicator can be coupled with other indicators to generate reliable trading signals.

Elegant Oscillator

The elegant oscillator is client side VTL indicator. It is based on signal processing algorithms and used in mean reverting trading systems. Mean Reversion theory suggests that after an extreme price move, asset prices tend to return back to normal or average levels. Prices routinely oscillate around the mean or average price but tend to return to that same average price over and over. Mean reversion strategies open trades when price moves to extreme levels, expecting price to return to the historical mean price. This is a counter trend trading strategy.

The elegant oscillator helps in identifying extreme price levels. Elegant Oscillator is a technical indicator based on signal processing techniques. It calculates the inverse Fisher transform of price and applies the smoothing filter to it. The resulting line oscillates between the values -1.0 and +1.0. Find out the extreme levels it reached in the historical chart and open a counter trend trade when it reaches around the historical extreme levels. It is better to be used with other indicators to confirm the signals.

Parameters:

Band Edge   Parameter to calculate the band edge, default is 20

                Oscillator Period  - Number of bars in the indicator calculations, default is 50

Price            - Price field to calculate the indicator.  1 Close, 2 Open, 3 High, 4 Low, 5 Median, 6 Typical, 7 Weighted

 

Test the indicator on charts with different parameter values and pick the best parameter values for each instrument before using it in trading.

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
